Do any of you change what you eat during hunting season in order to emit less scent and odor? Farts and all. I mean, it seems like a good idea, right? Like eating only salads and vegetables and drink only water vs. a night out at Chi Chi's for example. Les
The only thing that changes for me is when I eat, I eat earlier and later now instead of whenever I want
The only thing I do differently is, I snack on apples a lot more in the stand and blind. I figure if the deer do get a whiff of what I'm eating, it might as well be something they would want to eat too.
Thanks for the replies. Just something I had been wondering about. This will be my first season out and I really want to get at least one deer. Great idea with the apples, Celtic Viking.
Who the heck has time to eat when it's deer season??? In all honesty... I don't change anything food wise - just the times that I eat change.
yeah.. I dont' eat as much LOL seriously... when I am home I snack and watch tv.. but when I'm hunting, especially the main farm.. I will get up, have a coffee and maybe a snack, then hunt for 4 hours plus, come up, eat a can of soup and crackers for lunch and diet dew. Take a nap, get up hunt the evening, then come back and eat a sandwich. Then sleep, repeat the next day My best friend tells me " I always know when hunting season is on, you lose weight " LOL
I eat nothing but corn, soybeans, apples, and molasses so I emanate the smells deer love...that's a joke. I do not change anything except for the times I eat on days I am hunting.
This. I never would have thought to even switch foods. Sheesh. Guess you'll need one of these with built in scent blocker next...
I do change my eating habits... -Part is due to only apples and water allowed in the stand (5 hour energy is emergency use only) -I already started when I lost all the weight but I limit my red meat consumption as it causes more greasy skin and oils equaling more potential for scent. -I also take chlorphyll (liquid) for the month leading up and during.
